In order to create the most comprehensive Team Recruiting Ranking without any notion of bias, 247Sports Team Recruiting Ranking is solely based on the 247Sports Composite Rating.

Michigan is 8th in the composite rankings. Likely will finish there with only a few uncommitted prospects left. Would tie the 2012 class for the highest rated Michigan recruiting class on the composite. I imagine that that recruiting ranking would also likely cement Michigan as the preseason B10 favorite.

Is the assumption that Fernando and Justin Jackson will come back to school? With those two back plus Cowan, Huerter and their imcoming recruiting class, they could be really good. However, I think it’s far from a lock they both come back.

Due to some bad decisions by recruiting sites, Ignas is criminally underrated in the composite ranking.

He’s a 5* without question imo.

I wouldn’t call it a “bad decision” per se (which makes it sound like a rating mistake), but Iggy is a 5* to Rivals without a numerical ranking (because he’s int’l), which the numerical composite doesn’t know how to deal with. Even if you conservatively assume he is the lowest ranked 5*, he’d be #30, and his composite would be higher. It’s just one of those things.

Who cares if we are preseason favorites next year? It often seems to be a curse (looking at you Sparty). Last year we were picked to finish 7th.
Also, it is still a little early since so many teams have key players with unknown NBA status, including Michigan.
